Work on the first work of art being integrated into the Elizabeth line is underway as the first panes of glass have been fixed into place on the 120-metre-long canopy at Paddington.

A Cloud Index, designed by critically acclaimed artist Spencer Finch and funded by Heathrow and the City of London Corporation, is a cloudscape that has been printed onto the glazed roof of the new Elizabeth line station, making it one of the largest permanent artworks ever created in the capital.
